I think a piece might be missing from Portage. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'll depict my workflow as an example. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I'm preparing to upgrade: |
| 6 |
# emerge --sync |
| 7 |
# emerge -Dp world |
| 8 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-libs/libXinerama-1.0.1) |
| 9 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-libs/libXi-1.0.1) |
| 10 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-libs/libXrandr-1.1.1) |
| 11 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-proto/randrproto-1.1.2) |
| 12 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-misc/makedepend-1.0.0) |
| 13 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking media-libs/mesa-6.5-r3) |
| 14 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-libs/libdrm-2.0.1) |
| 15 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking |
| 16 |
x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto-2.2.2) |
| 17 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-proto/glproto-1.4.7) |
| 18 |
[blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking |
| 19 |
x11-proto/xf86driproto-2.0.3) |
| 20 |
... etc, lots of blockers ... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Ok, let's try and find why it wants to downgrade to xorg-x11-6.9: |
| 23 |
# equery d xorg-x11-6.9 |
| 24 |
[ Searching for packages depending on xorg-x11-6.9... ] |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
<none found> |
| 27 |
# |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Ok, no reason, apparently. Maybe it's already merged then? |
| 30 |
# emerge -C xorg-x11-6.9 |
| 31 |
--- Couldn't find 'xorg-x11-6.9' to unmerge. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Nope. Now I'm getting uncertain. Don't I have xorg-x11 at all? |
| 34 |
# emerge -C xorg-x11 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
x11-base/xorg-x11 |

Whoops. Yep, it's there. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Ok, so status is that I have xorg-x11-7.0, I don't have 6.9, no |
| 54 |
packages actually wants xorg-x11-6.9, but whenever I use "emerge -D |
| 55 |
world", Portage sees it as a blocker anyway. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Is there a piece missing in this puzzle, in particular the one that |
| 58 |
will tell me why on earth Portage thinks version 6.9 is a blocker? |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Or is the piece in place but I'm not looking hard enough? |
